General aspects of the advancement of theory and practices of information systems

Abstract

Purpose

The important role of functional and structural generalization of informative and communicative processes is considered.

Design/methodology/approach

It is denoted that generalitics suggests a means to obtain a new information which is more rich in content, more useful, jamproof and optimal. An increasingly important role of generalitics in the development of the informative equipment is underlined.

Findings

Upon the analysis made new attributes of information are suggested and estimated: informativeness, informness and informability. A clear description of the significance of generalization for the communication units is presented.

Originality/value

Development of the theoretic foundations allows for the creation of new generations of the informative technique, automated control and telemechanic systems and communications as a whole.
